Bill Nye on creationism: Show me one piece of evidence and I would change my mind immediately - Salon.com

As with most debates, it was obvious before it began that neither was
going to convince the other to change his fundamental world view. There
were plenty of questions that Nye, leaning on science, couldn’t provide
an answer for, but he treated those moments not as defeats but as
reasons to be excited about the possibilities of scientific inquiry.
Ham, meanwhile, took comfort in what Nye referred to as his “literal
interpretation of most parts of the Bible,” reconciling anything he
couldn’t answer with the response that God’s word is “the only thing
that makes logical sense.”

That all was further confirmed when a
member of the audience asked what turned out to be the crux of the
debate: what, if anything, would convince the men to change their minds?
Ham’s answer: “I’m a Christian.” (In other words, nothing.) Nye, on the
other hand, was happy to concede that just one piece of evidence to
support a Biblical interpretation of Earth’s formation — that the
universe is not expanding, or that rock layers can somehow form in just
4,000 years — would cause him to change his mind “immediately.”
